SeaWorld’s Fall I have always been very fascinated by whales, my interest grew so large that my parents eventually took me to SeaWorld. I was so entranced by their size and beauty that I was blind to see the fault. Ever since SeaWorld opened their doors they have been in the wrong. Orcas are taken from their natural habitat and dropped in tanks to perform for a paying audience daily. It is not even safe for trainers to work with the whales, many trainers have lost their lives doing so
SeaWorld came under extreme controversy after the documentary “Blackfish” aired in the summer of 2013. The documentary offered an extremely calumniatory viewpoint of SeaWorld’s use of orcas. The repercussions of the documentary on SeaWorld were immense, with their stick plummeting more than 20% in August of 2013 and attendance numbers at the park dwindling. The documentary also propelled the introduction of a California bill the “Orca Welfare Safety Act” that would ban the use of Orcas for performance
aquariums, zoos, and marine parks they never really think about where these twenty-two thousand pound orca whales are forced to stay, or where these four hundred pound dolphins reside for most of the day. Any time they visit an aquatic park, such as SeaWorld, or an aquarium, such as Shedd Aquarium, the animals seem happy, the workers seem to enjoy themselves, and the atmosphere is fun. People visit these places for the experience and the excitement that comes over their bodies the minute they see a trick
